Detailed Description
The inventors have studied extensively and intensively and have surprisingly found that bio-enzyme catalysis is very suitable for chiral reduction of compounds of formula I. Furthermore, the inventors have unexpectedly found that n-butyllithium and carbon dioxide are particularly suitable for carboxylating compounds of formula II, compared to other conventional carboxylation systems (such as palladium acetate and carbon monoxide systems), to obtain compounds of formula III in high yields of more than 80% and in reaction times of less than 1 hour. The inventor provides a new preparation method (or synthetic route) for directly preparing the 5-fluoro-3-methyl isobenzofuran-1 (3H) -one (formula IV) with high purity and chiral purity by taking 2-bromo-5-fluoro acetophenone (formula I) as a raw material through three steps of reactions for the first time. The present invention has been completed based on this inventor.
